The school you attend can be one of
the most important investments in your life, so you will want to learn as much
as possible about the colleges and universities you are considering. Brochures and
catalogs can tell you much, but a visit to the campus can go beyond that in
providing the mood and the atmosphere of an institution and its people. A
campus visit gives you the opportunity to experience the total environment,
including the host community. After all, you will not be spending all your time
in the classroom.
During a visit you can meet with
campus personnel in a variety of situations. You can talk to an Enrollment Services
representative, to faculty members, and to students, and you can eat in campus
dining facilities. When you set up an appointment for a visit to UND, we can
assist you with arrangements for your overnight stay.
Tell us when you want to come and we
will work out the details. We will send you a special brochure about visiting
the University to help answer questions about what to do when you come to
campus. If special arrangements are needed, let us know in advance. It is best
if you give us a week’s notice for a visit, but feel free to stop in or call at
any time. The easiest way to set up a visit is to call 1-800-CALL UND and ask
for the Office of Enrollment Services, call (701) 777-4463, or write to: Office
of Enrollment Services, Box 8135, Grand Forks, ND 58202. You can also find us
on the web at www.und/dept/enrolser/.
All parking on campus is permit
parking only. Students who drive a vehicle on campus must purchase a parking
permit upon arrival. Permits can be purchased at the Traffic Division — Union Station (lower level of Memorial
Union). It is the responsibility of the individual to properly display the
permit and comply with University Motor Vehicle Regulations at all times.
